This year on Halloween we hosted a Spring Carnival for the neighborhood. We provided a safe and FREE (very rarely are things free) carnival for families to spend Halloween and encouraged the kids to dress as pretty/handsome things instead of ghouly-ghosty-devily-type things. It was all around fun. At night we had a movie for the teens in a little old school house in the park across the street from my house. I got to meet some teens in the neighborhood I would not have otherwise, so that was exciting! Please continue to pray for making those community connections, especially with the "un-churched" and "de-churched," so we can continue to love them and show them Christ in tangible ways!
